Hi! A couple of days ago I bought a dv6-1224eo to replace an Asus G2s that turned out to be useless för gaming.. Just saying "3dMark" was enough to send the temperatures way beyond the 100C-mark... Thank's to this I might be...

Thanks! I didn't know those things exsisted... I've tried more conventional laptop coolers and my son even put the G2 on a solid slab of ice from the freezer with little to no impact on gpu temp... I have also tried fans pushing cool air...

Well..it's finally done! It was a bit fiddly but no major problems. Anyway, I've never removed a gpu cooler (not even on a desktop card..) but I have some experience in cpu:s and went about it in the same way as when replacing a cpu or...

My gpu (8600m GT) is 88C idle and quickly reaches 110C under load so after trying everything under the sun (downclocking, coolers, fans, Lemmings guide on how to improve airflow (which actually raised the temp by a couple of degrees...)...

No need... The webcam installed itself when I installed Win 7, and since I got picture and the device manager showed no errors I guessed everything was in order.. Anyway, I tried installing the webcam-driver supplied with the G2 and that...

Hi everyone! Got a new strange problem.. Just installed windows 7 on my G2S-A2 and it works like a charm. Everything installed nicely using vista drivers and I must say that 7 seems to be a much more responsive system.. My only problem...

Now I've tried everything and it seems there's no fix.. The chip must be faulty... I installed nTune and realtemp, everest and all give the same results.. My cpu-temp is ok (around 45 idle and max 70 under load) but the gpu temp is off...

And I will take your advice and let Vista settle in for a couple of days before judging the old driver.. Weirdly vistas benchmark gave the gaming performance a score of 5.4 with the original driver and 5.2 with the new one so actual...

The alternative would be to run the new driver with powerstrip to lower the gpu and memory speeds... It seemed to work for a while yesterday even though I can't see how lowering the speeds would compensate for an incompatible driver......

Finally... Problem SOLVED!! Kinda... Gave Asus a call, and based on the serial they said warranty expired July 6th... Anyway the guy at Asus said that some drivers worked badly with the G2 and recommended a reinstall of Vista..so I did!...
